I pray that this may be clear for all.
Paul says, the dead in Christ rise first, then we that remain will meet them in the sky.
Timeline: The dead rise first and then the rapture.
If you look at Rev qouted above by Aineo and the previous verses by myself. You will notice that Satan is bound before the dead in Christ rise (first resurrection).
Timeline: The dead in Christ rise first and then the rapture.
Timeline: Satan is bound and then the dead in Christ rise.
Timeline: The great tribulation ends and then Satan is bound.
In conclusion. The great tribulation comes and shatters the Earth. Then Satan is bound so that Christ may reign for 1000 yrs. And the dead in Christ rise first, which is after Satan is bound, and we meet them in the air. I wish we could just escape without having to suffer, but God called us out to be persecuted. And the evidence clearly shows that pre-tribulation there will be no rapture. We just have to prepare to lay down our lives for Christ's sake.
With Love,
